"Grrrr, dirty rotten deadbeat bidder bum messed it all ups!
I guess $3000 was a bit high . . . especially when the guy won't respond (or pay), then is suddenly "no longer registered" on eBay two days later. You know what that does too?…"

"Actually, I had thought about it, but magazines are far to heavy for the shipping down under.
My 'monthly' TNT Express bill is getting more than a little ridiculous.
Shipping can be quite cheap within the US, but as soon as you have to…"

Wholly is fine, unless that freaks you out too much. The first computer I ever got my hands on was a 2001, it wasn't too long after that that I had a ][+ which constantly amazed me. All the stuff related to the 2001 was horribly expensive and seriously engineered yet the A2 was faster and more flexible. But for the school environment it was the right thing. Making it a little harder to get into the box (than an A2) was a good thing with those morons, luckily they were too afraid to do anything.

So has the collection grown or shrunk since 1994? Are you finding that more machines are catching your fancy or less since then?

Wow, I haven't even received it in the post yet! Well, sure!
I live in the UK so postage may well be a difficult to the US, let me know what you would be willing to trade for this, baring in mind that I don't really collect Apple memorabilia, this was a bit of a spur of the moment type of thing!
